30th August: Rapunzel.
In 1862 in Northern Virginia, however, Major General John Pope was about to get his long awaited comeuppance. Lee was ready to take the offensive against the man he had come to despise, for his over confident bombast and disregard and disrespect of Virginia and the men he had come east to command.
Not heeding his subordinates’ requests for caution, Pope tried once again to break Jackson’s battered Corps(one Brigade did break, but others plugged the gap). On the union far left were only two brigades of Infantry and they were to be assailed by ten times their number. Three Southern Divisions, Hood’s, Kemper’s and Jones’ crashed onto the field, making short work of the outnumbered Northern troops.
Pope did well to recognise the danger when it appeared and sent four Brigades from three different Divisions to hold at Henry House Hill on his left. Remember this was ground fought over 13 months ago, by much the same men and officers, although most were now promoted.
This time around there would be no rout. Understandably, there was much jubilation on the side of the Southerners and a great loss of morale on the Northern side. This sense of martial superiority, begun last Summer at 1st Manassas, was to continue and come to a head on the field of Gettysburg another Summer from now.
What Moral Basis for One World Government Laws?

Please tell me Yanny, if that person mentioned “the Lord” in his school speech, how does that infringe on your rights? Is it emotionally scarring? Perhaps even traumatizing? I’ve never understood this….
Why should I be forced to listen to some idiot preach to me? Its a waste of my time and theirs. When I go to my High School graduation, I want to hear about my High School, not some fake Diety. It is not their business to be praising the Lord in school. The school is not a converting ground.
Why should there be a double standard for Religions? The Christian Religion is accepted everywhere, but a Hindu or a Buddist or a Muslim or a Silhk (sp) couldn’t get up and give the same speech. All these Religions are false and should have no place in a public school.

but the allowing of a person to “preach” does not fall under “free speach”? The ability of Klansmen to gather in front of a city hall to preach against and denounce “niggers” and Jews and Catholics is appropriate and should be allowed as this is a “real belief”? Too many examples of what i think are wrong, wastes of time and energy, bizaare preachings and messages. At the same time, I accept that this is what they have to say, and whether i disagree with their message or not, it is their right to say it under whatever constitution you worship.
I´d say deal with this as a small price to pay for freedoms that are related in some twisted and sick perverted way. You, F_alk and Fin all preach anti-religious propaganda with religious fervor. One might make a case for a religion (in its intensity and fervor). -

You wouldn’t allow a KKK member to speak at graduation. There are certain lines which have to be drawn. As students, we are not given the right of free speech.

Deviant:Scripter would it bother you if somebody praised Satan in a school speech bother you?? What gods should be allowed in school speeches?? Who decides what gods or religions can be talked about in public.
Hell yes it would bother me. :evil:

Since when is MENTIONING the word “God” preaching?
preach - To advocate, especially to urge acceptance of or compliance with. (Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary)
Nobody is forcing you to accept or even to agree with it.
